CI, confidence interval; AF, atrial fibrillation; VTE, venous thromboembolism.
Model 1 is adjusted for age, sex and race-field center.
Model 2: Model 1+ income, education, physical activity, smoking, waist circumference, height, systolic blood pressure, anti-hypertensive medication, diabetes, prevalent coronary heart disease, prevalent heart failure, prevalent anticoagulant use and eGFR.
Model 3: Model 2 + time-dependent anticoagulant use.
